K.55 (08/2002) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is t

5、he United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing

6、telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by

7、the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate bot

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the ev

9、idence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which

10、 may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2002 All rights reserved.

15、displacement connectors (IDC) terminations 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the overvoltage requirements and test procedures for Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDCs) used for symmetric pair conductors subjected to overvoltages and overcurrents. The basic ITU-T Rec. K.44 (test methods and t

16、est circuits) is an integral part of this Recommendation. This Recommendation should be read in conjunction with ITU-T Recs K.11, K.39, K.46 and K.47. An example of where connectors, included in the scope of this Recommendation, may be used, is given in Figure 1. This Recommendation does not cover t

17、he requirements of overvoltage protection holders or separable contacts. It also does not cover the requirements of IDCs used in equipment. These are covered by the relevant equipment Recommendation. K.55_F01LinecardMDFNTConnectors in the equipment are covered by the relevant equipment Recommendatio

25、efinitions, abbreviations and symbols used in this Recommendation are defined in ITU-T Rec. K.44. Unique definitions, abbreviations and symbols used in this Recommendation are defined below. 3.1 Definitions This Recommendation defines the following terms. 3.1.1 insulation displacement connector (IDC

26、)s: An Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) is an interconnecting or terminating element for symmetric pair conductors where the insulation is mechanically displaced during the termination process. A 2 wire connector is used to connect two wires together. A 3 wire connector is used to connect a c

27、onductor or tap from the main conductor. A modular connector, or multi pair connector, is a connector containing more than one termination. Connectors can be either “dry“ or “filled“. A filled connector is filled with a grease or a gel to make it moisture resistant. 3.1.2 insulation resistance: Insu

28、lation resistance is the leakage resistance from one connection point to an adjacent connection point or ground (earth). 3.2 Abbreviations This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations: c ground connection of IDC; earth rail (only applicable to modules with holders) IDC Insulation Displacemen

Refer to Appendix I for guidance on the type of connector to be used in the intended environ

30、ment. The tests in the appropriate test table shall be performed in sequence. ITU-T Rec. K.55 (08/2002) 3 4.2 Connector preparation The connectors shall be terminated, as per the IDC manufacturers instructions, with conductors with solid insulation. Both the minimum and maximum conductor sizes speci

31、fied for the connector shall be used. Use the minimum conductor size necessary, from the allowable conductor range, to prevent fusion of the conductor for the lightning surge current and power contact tests. Fusing of the conductor is not a connector failure. 4.2.1 2 or 3 wire IDC connectors A minim

32、um of thirty connectors shall be terminated according to Figure A.1. 4.2.2 Multi pair IDC connectors A minimum of six assembled modules shall be terminated according to Figure A.2. Only half the conductors are terminated on the cross connect side for the voltage breakdown test sequence, see Figures

33、B.1, B.2 and B.3. 4.3 High voltage test methods Use one third of the assembled samples for tests 1.1 to 1.4, the second third for tests 2.1 to 2.3 and the rest of the samples for tests 3.1 to 3.3. The assembled connectors shall be tested for their high voltage/current performance in accordance with

34、the tests outlined in Table 1. 4.4 General failure criteria for IDC All assembled connectors shall comply with the test requirements outlined in Table 1. Further, the connector shall not exhibit any of the following modes of failure: flashover to the foil or electrode; expulsion of any terminating p

35、art; internal breakdown (blackening of grease); fusing of the conductor at the conductor/connector interface; physical damage to the connector. 4.5 Failure criteria for IDC for the mains power contact test For test resistor values of 160 or greater the connector should not be damaged, as per the cri

36、teria in 4.4. For test resistor values less than 160 the connector may be damaged, but a fire hazard shall not occur, and the adjacent circuits shall not be damaged. Fusing of the conductor is not a connector failure. 4.6 Ball bearings Ball bearings used as an electrode shall have a diameter of 3.1

37、mm 0.1 mm. 5 Electrical requirements and test procedures Type test requirements: The connectors shall meet the tests outlined in Table 1. Connection details for multi pair connectors are given in Annexes B and C. A special test condition is used to simulate exposure to moist conditions. The detailed
